SUNDOWNS AND PIRATES HEADLINE WINNERS OF THE PSL TRANSFER WINDOW
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Mamelodi Sundowns didn’t need too many players as their squad was already filled with quality from the goalkeeping department to their strikeforce.

However, they still managed to add more quality in key areas that needed attention in order to increase competition among the current players.
Sundowns signed Sipho Mbule, Ronwen Williams, Bongani Zungu, Marcelo Allende, Abubeker Nasir, Terrence Mashego and Abdelmounaim Boutouil.
The Tshwane giants also managed to get rid of those they didn’t need, including Ricardo Goss, Lyle Lakay, and George Maluleka among many others.
ORLANDO PIRATES
Orlando Pirates did brilliantly in this transfer window as they were not afraid to splash the cash to get their targets for the season.

The major signings include Tapelo Xoki, Nkosinathi Sibisi, and Miguel Timm but perhaps the best coup is that of Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo on transfer deadline day.
Pirates may have not found a goalkeeper to work alongside both Siyabonga Mpontshane and Richard Ofori in the transfer market but retaining the services of Kwame Peprah was key.

After all, Bienvenu Eva Nga hasn’t hit the ground running while Zakhele Lepasa may be considered inexperienced to carry Pirates on his shoulders in terms of goals throughout the season.
AMAZULU & TS GALAXY
AmaZulu and TS Galaxy deserve a seat among the winners for boxing smart in the transfer window, and getting the quality and experience they needed.

Usuthu got the likes of Gabadinho Mhango, Dumisani Zuma, Ethan Brooks, and George Maluleka among others; the majority of which were free agents.
TS Galaxy, on the other hand, signed experienced campaigners in Bernard Parker, Xola Mlambo, and Sibusiso Vilakazi while they successfully held on to Given Msimango.
A SPECIAL MENTION: PSL rookies Richards Bay FC deserve a special mention for the good job they did in the transfer market by signing the likes of Nkanyiso Zungu, Siyanda Msani and Luvuyo Memela.
